“I don’t know what’s more insane – that the ‘President of Peace’ is starting an illegal war or that he’s giving a get out of jail free card to the U.S. military." theintercept.com/2025/11/14/bo

@gtconway3 You're defaming rats. Rats are very intelligent creatures. I'm sure you meant rat turds stuck to the bottom of a shoe.

I see Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Guiffre is already #1 on the NYT non-fiction bestseller list, for Oct 19-25

Hmm, not as rainy this morning, only 3 or 4 Teslas in ditches in California. I did not capture it but a Cybertruck in an accident last night, can't imagine driving a giant Nazi-built refrigerator in the rain works very well.

"A billionaire president is spending hundreds of millions on a new ballroom onto the White House while 22 million Americans brace for a doubling of their health insurance premiums if ACA subsidies vanish.​

Oil and tech companies gorge themselves on expanding profits while our planet strains beneath drought, wildfire, and a collapsing ecosystem."

@flexghost

republicans don and shed their skinsuits that allow them to change positions and opinions on everything

they have no moral center, they have no positions they hold dear, they will do and say anything for more money and power

i wish more people understood that

#Trump also submitted his annual disclosure form in June, which indicated that income from his various ventures still ultimately goes to him, raising concerns of #ConflictsOfInterest.

In that annual disclosure, which appeared to cover the 2024 calendar year, Trump reported >$600 million in income from cryptocurrencies, golf properties, licensing & other ventures. It also showed Trump's push into #crypto had added substantially to his #wealth.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

#Trump, who #inherited #wealth from his father’s work in the real estate sector, has previously said that he placed his companies into a trust overseen by his children. [but he said that during his first term too, & it turned out not to be true.]

A disclosure filed in Aug indicated that Trump had purchased >$100 million in #bonds since returning to the presidency on Jan 20.

#Trump also acquired #Intel #bonds after the #US #government, under Trump's direction, acquired a stake in the company.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment. The admin has said before that Trump has continued to file mandatory disclosures about his #investments but that neither he nor his family has a role in running the portfolio, which is managed by a 3rd-party financial institution. 🤨

@WarnerCrocker My friend across the street is like that. I refer to them as being in a mixed marriage. She's sane and he's a republican.

@notwhatwethink #alt4you Text screenshot, white on purple:
We've had the Affordable Care Act for 15 years. 15 years of not being denied coverage for preexisting conditions. 15 years of no lifetime caps on coverage. 15 years of free cancer screenings, STI tests, PrEP, and birth control. And in that 15 years, Republicans have not offered a single alternative healthcare plan.
They've only tried take your healthcare away 70+ times.
